complete build log

x11-drivers/xf86-input-joystick-1.5.0 is incompatible with the xorg-server ABI 12 (used by >=xorg-server-1.9.99.2). Support for xorg-server-1.10 has been added in upstream git (see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-joystick/commit/?id=8c7ad54d6d869bb4202aee8408c72ed72bf929a7), but does not exist in any released version.

As a result, attempting to build xf86-input-joystick-1.5.0 with xorg-server-1.10.0.901 will fail; see attached build log.

I made an ebuild from upstream git master, just updated for ABI 12:

I called it 1.5.9 since it would seem appropriate for upstream to release a 1.6.0 Real Soon Now...

The source package is here:

Confirmed working on amd64.

Proper snapshot is in main tree now, tiny issue is that it has tendency to crash X if device is unplugged

[Comment 4 Sascha Hlusiak 2011-04-20 19:51:35 UTC]

Crash fixed upstream with commit 4358209e7e4 and official release of 1.6.0.

Renaming of 1.5.0 ebuild should generally work.

Marking as fixed now that xf86-input-joystick-1.6.0 is in portage
